Ensure your message is seen by the key decision makers across the Local Government Sector

We offer the following advertising options:

The LGConnect discussion groups are very popular email based online discussion forums available only to the local government. They allow council staff and elected members to communicate with each other to discuss a variety of issues in a collaborative environment across regional and organisational boundaries. As at 30 June 2016 LGConnect had 7,744 subscribers across the discussion groups. Many local government staff are subscribed to multiple groups so the number of actual subscriptions totals 14,144.

All LGConnect subscribers also receive our twice weekly LGNewsBulletin e-newsletter - a curated round up of all the latest local government news. LGNewsbulletin subscriptions are open to anyone interested in the local government sector and an additional 600 people subscribe to that service only bringing the LGNewsbulletin subscriber total to 8,341.
